Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is more vivid and contrasted in the original work.
The vase inside the left arm is present (rare for these sculptures that often do not include the vase). A small colour discrepancy on the inside of the right foot is visible under close inspection. Minor wear marks (approx. 0.4 x 1 cm) located at the rear, under the left foot at the extremity and a light rub mark (approx 0.4 x 0.8 cm) on the same left foot are visible under close inspection. The base presents some mild scratches scattered throughout as well as a rub mark. This work is in very good condition.
